Cable Knitting 101 with Seth Richardson - Sat, Jan 11, 10:15a-12:15p

Join us as we welcome the talented Seth Richardson to teach us all about cables!

About this class: 
Cable knitting is a classic technique that adds movement and texture to your pieces. It can look complicated, but it doesn’t have to be! In Cable Knitting 101, we’ll start with the basics and learn how cabling works, how to read a written pattern that includes cables, how to select suitable yarns, and we’ll also practice a lot of cable maneuvers. The project that we will work on in class is a narrow scarf that explores cabled ropes that twist in two directions and will serve as an excellent way to practice the technique.

About the instructor:
Seth Richardson (he/him/his) is a designer based in Portland, Oregon. He enjoys creating pieces that use simple texture, and he is especially interested in designing works that explore the various relationships of straight lines. Originally from the Northeast, he takes a lot of inspiration from the natural surroundings of his new home in the Pacific Northwest. He can be found on Instagram @sethrichardsonknits, on Ravelry as SethR, and through his website, sethrichardsonknits.com. 

Cost: $45 for one 2-hour session.

Required Skills: 
No cable knitting experience necessary, but this is an advanced beginner class, so participants should be comfortable with casting on/binding off, following a pattern, and knitting and purling on their own.

Required Materials:

• Approximately 240 yds of worsted weight yarn in a solid or semi-solid colorway

• US 8 needles (straight or circular) or size needles needed to obtain a gauge of 17 sts and 27 rows = 4”/10cm in stockinette stitch, after wet blocking. (Note: exact gauge isn’t entirely crucial, but you should be close.)

• Cable needle

• Pattern will be provided during the lesson

You may bring your own materials to class or if you wish to purchase prior to the start of the first class, you will receive a 10% discount on materials, excluding patterns.
